Scary scam! I was outside my home and an suv pulled into my driveway. A lady got out and somehow talked me into letting HER clean the carpet in one room for free. (normally I say no thankyou)..she looked well groomed and I got fooled. Plus my husband was home so I felt safe..I was wondering how SHE felt safe to come inside my home but she was very confident. So she comes inside and we show her a room to clean..she then says she will vacuum the carpets first. She goes outside and I vacuum for her since she is supposed to shampoo the carpets...this is where it gets weird. A tall black man walks inside and he is the person who is going to clean the carpet..I had no idea there was another person with her! This lady never introduced herself and then left our home..saying she has to go to another house. My husband was with the guy in our bedroom when he whipped out his Kirby vacuum than he assembled. Once my husband saw this bait and switch he told the guy not to worry about shampooing the carpets..just vacuum. (he wanted this over asap).The guy vacuumed..and asked to use our bathroom..then started talking about his personal life. The guy was nice enough..but had been driking..my husband could smell it on him. Finally he's ready to leave..we ak go outside on the porch to wait for his ride to pick him up..while he proceeds to ask for liquor. We said we didn't have any and he didn't believe us..he kept saying I know you have some in your house. His ride finally arrives..it's dark and we never saw the woman but we did see a man driving the same vehicle that dropped him off. So the moral of the story is..go with your gut and do not let anyone into your home ever!!
